Néroli Amara

by Quentin Bisch

Van Cleef & Arpels Néroli Amara is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Quentin Bisch. Néroli Amara opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Mandarin, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Pepper, Orange Blossom, Pear, and Cypress, and dries down to a base of Neroli and Musk. Van Cleef & Arpels's Néroli Amara carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This is a clean, bright, and utterly delightful neroli. A genuine compliment-getter, it's often hailed as one of the best freshies on the market, despite some complaints about projection and longevity. It's a sunshine blast everyone seems to love.

About

Néroli Amara explodes with a vibrant citrus opening of bergamot, lemon, and mandarin, underscored by a subtle pink pepper kick. As it settles, a sweet and realistic orange blossom heart emerges, softened by a whisper of pear and the green depth of cypress. The dry down is a warm, musky neroli, smooth and soothing, creating a balanced and undeniably natural aroma that evokes sun-drenched Mediterranean groves.
